The recipes are superb and simple, and the learning here is immense.

"Field-to-table cooking is 'the new black.' But when it comes to
cookin' up wild game, it's important to give the animal the respect
it deserves both in the field and the kitchen, as it's not as
simple as just throwin' everything on the grill and expecting a
great outcome. In The MeatEater Fish and Game Cookbook,
Steven Rinella goes to the next level and offers some real deal
culinary know-how to make sure that your friends and family will
dig what you put on the table."--Guy Fieri
"As a hunter and a chef, I appreciate the mindfulness and awareness
that Steven Rinella brings to conservation and food utilization.
His work is thoughtful and necessary for a modern world that is
reconnecting with its food sources."--Joshua Skenes "In this
insightful and straightforward look at cooking what one hunts,
[Rinella] proves to be as skilled with a pen as he is with a gun. .
. . Rinella includes clear, photo-enhanced instructions on gutting,
skinning, and butchering, along with taste charts that explain the
differing flavors and textures of similar beasts. . . . The
nose-to-tail approach incorporates everything from bullfrog legs
(simmered in butter and wine) to duck hearts (grilled and served
with a walnut pesto). Rinella is at the top of his game in this
must-read cookbook for those seeking a taste of the
wild."--Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Yes, you
should actually buy this fish and game cookbook . . . full of
helpful information for the hunter and non-hunter alike. . . .
Anyone new to hunting or fishing will find a wealth of solutions to
the mysteries upon which they are embarking. What strikes me about
this book, however, is not how helpful it is for hunters. For while
there can be no doubt about that . . . what is far more interesting
is how useful this book is for people who don't hunt, who don't
have game to process. . . . Due to Rinella's use of different types
of game as an organizing principle, the book is wonderfully varied.
There are recipes for goose pastrami, tea smoked duck, marrow bones
and hot pots. Because he is not pinned to a restaurant or a region,
Rinella is free to include recipes from all over the world, at
varying levels of difficulty. He douses salmon in tequila to make a
cilantro hinted gravlax, and fills up big pots to make a crab boil.
. . . Is this a cookbook, as it claims, for every hunter and
angler? Of course it is. But it's also a cookbook for
everyone else."--The Daily Beast
